Pohutukawa Olympics

We had a fantastic afternoon celebrating the end of our Inquiry learning unit - Let the Games Begin: Rio 2016.

Pohutukawa Syndicate held their own Olympic Games. Each class came up with their own 'Country name', National Anthem and events for the games.

Room 11 were 'Golden England' and we had our very own haka written by the children.

Golden England Haka:
Pingao Ingarani
Ki runga rawa
Toa, toa
Tekau ma tahi
Go! Go! Go!
Hei ha - he!

First we all gathered in the horseshoe and performed our National Anthems

First event... Shotput.

Second event... Wheelbarrow race.

Third event... Three-legged race.

Then came the finals...

For some fun we had a water sponge relay race.

And a tug of war to finish.

It was a fantastic Syndicate Olympics! 
Well done everybody for demonstrating the Olympic Values:

• Friendship
• Respect
• Excellence
